Veracity

We were actually thinking of doing something like this soon for a few things, so stay tuned. (:

Hi, I'd just like to clarify a few things: our past update (I don't know if you've seen it or not), was geared towards new players. We've added questable auras for them (as well as rucksacks), improved elite weapons significantly to make non-donators better in PvP, we made a custom map for new players with mobs they can kill easily as well as a Help NPC that explains virtually everything a new player would need to know about ForsakenRO, made them start out with helpful newbie equipment to make leveling easier, added 2 extra sets they can quest for while working their way to becoming an elite (Forsaken PvP Soldier set and Forsaken MvP Soldier Set, both of which come with nice headgear that are popular as I've seen many older players doing the quest for the headgear), as well as added a new map/mobs for newbies to level in after LHZ when EXP begins to drag, and lowering the MvP hp to make them easier killed by our new players. There's a lot more, but that's just what comes to mind off the top of my head. All of these were based off suggestions from the community. Now, about the GM team... our GMs are hard working individuals who volunteer their time to help players and provide events for them for free. I don't know what you mean by "rule twisters" or "moody GM's," but I know our staff is by far one of the most professional out there. Go look at other servers that are very, very understaffed and many of them are inactive on top of that. Our staff is also not corrupt at all since the power GMs are given is minimal and meant only to provide support/events for our players: only the Administrators have @item, which on many other servers ALL GM's have. Guess what they do with it? Give items to their friends/their legits behind the scenes. We do not do that at all, many people here just don't realize how lucky they are. While it is true (in rare occurrences) that a GM may abuse the trust and power given to them, Wish or Genesis will always find out about it and promptly remove them. Not only are the GMs closely monitored by them, but many times the community will report it if there is issues with a GM. Which brings me to my next point: if you have, or have ever, felt there was any bias or anything wrong with a GM, you could have either reported it via the ticket system or contacted Genesis or Wish directly (both of which are completely confidential). Also, Genesis actually accepted WoE 2.0 and has been working on it for awhile. Since it's still in development, we've been working on how to improve the current WoE for new players and even have a topic about it in the suggestion forum. I know you haven't been here for awhile, but we appreciate your (and everyone else's) reviews. They've been very helpful and we will definitely incorporate everyone's feedback into future updates.

They're supposed to be tradeable, it's just because they were transferred over from the vote items. This will be fixed ASAP, keep in mind the staff is very busy and has other obligations, too. (:

That should be fixed soon. :P Thanks for letting us know. EDIT: Fixed, closed.

It should be when being attacked, like its Valkyrie weapon counterpart. If not, we'll fix it. (:

That will be fixed, it was supposed to be made one-handed. Sorry about that.

That was actually a mistake, it shouldn't be re-implemented, so don't worry. If it is it will be removed again. Sorry for the confusion!

Welcome to the forums! It's fun here, I'm sure you will like it... glad you decided to join us!

This is a game, it isn't really supposed to be realistic. Good job on the update! (:

The good news is we're already looking into fixing this! (: So I will just go ahead and accept this. - Accepted -

I really love this idea and think it would be very fun/interesting. It actually gave me a really good idea and we could maybe even work it into one of the future storyline updates (I've started working on the next one already). I think it's creative and the more custom things we can add, the better. However, if we do this, it would have to be as an event since we unfortunately cannot do any source editing.

- Accepted - Probably will be a good idea to wait to update it until our newest expansion is released, though. (:

Hi ya'll, We are looking for ways to improve everyone's WoE experience and would love to hear feedback from the community concerning this. Here's some ideas to consider: What do you believe are the current biggest issues with WoE, and how do you think they could be fixed? What would encourage you/others to participate more in WoE? Please be reasonable in your suggestions. Also, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WOE 2.0 IN THIS THREAD. This is just for the current WoE we have.

That sounds great. Having a detailed and specific list will allow better discussion concerning what you would like changed. There's no guarantee it will be accepted though since Wish and Genesis have final say - it will just be a very good starting point for discussion either way. A decision as large as this would have to really rely on the community's input, although a simple "majority" will never decide if a suggestion is accepted or not. When considering suggestions, we do not only look at how many people are for or against something, but the argument each individual makes. (This is not regarding this topic specifically, but all suggestion topics as a whole since some have been confused about this.)

Before I say much: I'm speaking for myself here and just because I personally may agree with this doesn't mean it will be accepted. I do agree with some parts of this suggestion. I was actually discussing the issue of reductions last night with some of the staff. Even 90% reductions is far too much in my opinion and I agree that it can ruin PvP (in some instances). While it would be impossible to do something as large as cutting back the redux on all items universally, what we could do is make it so when wearing certain items, the reductions of other items will not stack. Nines mentioned we already have something similar to this implemented so that people can't get to 100%. We can create more checks and balances like this. Those of you who are in favor of changing the reductions should post your suggestions for specific items and/or classes that you find problematic. What would you like the max reductions they can obtain to be? Make specific suggestions based on what I'm saying here.

Please don't revive old topics. Closed.

Thanks for the great feedback everyone! I'm just going to go ahead and "accept" this now since we're going to hopefully be implementing quite a few of the ideas here to benefit new players in the next update.

Unfortunately, there isn't. You'll have to remake them. Welcome back to ForsakenRO, though, I hope you'll enjoy playing here again. (: If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Yea, it's unlikely we would change this. The reason it's not very different than the other katars is because SinX is already the strongest class there is. If we added anything else for them, especially with SB, it would be too overpowered. The reason the other weapons increase certain skills is because either those classes are weaker and we were trying to balance them, or we were trying to give different, more diverse options of playing a class.

I think I had accepted that suggestion already. I agree completely though, we are going to completely revamp the Survival event. I don't know how long it will take for it to be done, but it's going to be really cool.

Safari itself seems pretty outdated and quite a lot of other servers now have something similar. I don't think that should be one of the selling points anymore. I agree they should be updated though, and that it would be nice to include the storyline (especially since it's going to become a lot more elaborate with the next one). Once the newbie friendly update is released, it would probably be good to advertise that as well. Also perhaps how long the server has been up for and how it has no lag and is stable, etc? More suggestions are welcome. (:

Well, this is a simple fix and everyone who has posted agrees with it. I don't think there's anything more to say. (: - Accepted -

Can you make it so the sacred wings are white? (: Also, I didn't do another image with it but could a white emp also be added? Forgot to add that the information is correct.
